View 1 RepliesIs there a (simple) way to connect a textbox, label etc. to a property in a class?I have a project with a complex series of dialogs to enter data into a list of a costum class describing an experiment with many parameters that are stored as properties (both simple variables such as strings and integers, but also more complex ones).I need both to be able to update the list of my experiment class, but also to go the other way to populate the dialogs from the class.It can of course be done outside the class and the dialogs in separate subroutines. This however, quicly becomes unmanagable and hard to maintain as the dialogs and experiment class is expanded with new elements.If there was a simple way to connect say a textbox or label in a dialog with the appropriate property holding the information it would make it much easier.

View 6 RepliesI have produced an application which works with datasets but I now wish to provide the user the ability to add and admend records within the database.But i wish to do this in a seperate form.My current dataset instanciates classes onLoad.Should i try passing the Dataset to the new form class? although I have the problem where by when i pass the dataset to the form class using code below i get this problem:[code]Should i just create a create a new connection to the database and produce a new dataset for this form? or is there a better way to do this?
View 2 RepliesI've been creating short test apps repeatedly to try to understand some of the concepts in VB.NET.For the most part it has been illuminating.I read Bucky's .NET knowlegebase tutorial on passing objects as parameters to newly created forms. He shows how to create a new class that inherits from the base form class and define a New() method with parameters Extending the concept I thought about doing the same thing with a form that was created at design-time (In this case Form2).

I want to read a number of items from a file and then associate each of those items with a new button at run-time, so that when the user clicks one of the buttons I can display some information about that item.Can I use a LIST to manage these buttons and items? Can I create a new class and have each list item of that class, such as 'btnID', 'btnText', etc... ?

View 1 Repliesim making a class.vb which has a sql connection. The class.vb will be used by all forms/windows on the application. So whenever a form needs to access the database, it will call class.vb.
This is the code in class.vb:
Public Sub Openconn()
Dim myConnection As SqlConnection
Dim connstring As String = "Data Source=192.162;Initial Catalog=db1;User Id=sa;Password=1;"
[code]....
but it gives error: value of type sqlconnection cannot converted to array of Sqlconnection.I just want a method that's useful for opening the connection and that is also useful when asigning to a command object.

Trying to begin rewriting a VB6 application using .NET (as a Windows Forms app.) to get some practical coding experience.First hurdle is the best way to connect from VB.NET to typically various stored procedures in a SQL Server DB... I'm of course struggling a little along the way as well w/the difference in syntax and so forth, too.Anyone out there have an example you can point me to as far as typical blocks of code you use in calling to establish connectivity to SQL Server databases, populate SQLDataAdapter objects, etc?My assumption is that I need to create a connection object class and have everything in there and just call various methods of that connection object class whenever I need to connect to the database, retrieve data from stored procedures to populate fields on various screens of my app., close the connection to the database, etc.

I've got a fairly large VB.NET (3.5) project that makes a lot of database calls. So I created a namespace/class just to handle those fuctions. The idea was that this single point of entry into the database would give more control over validating input from users.
So my class looks something like this. (I've chopped some code out for readability, it works just fine except for all the open connections.

So I can close the data reader, but how do I reach back to that original database class and close the connection. If I close it in that original class it will bomb when I try to loop through the data reader the in calling class.I'm sure this is probably pretty obvious but I'm fried from the keyboard.
I am working on designing a SQL Server database connection class in VB.net 2005. The idea behind doing this will be so a developer can can call the class, pass it a stored procedure name along with the parameters, and get return values back (if any).
View 1 RepliesIn my application I have many different forms each use 3 different database. And right now I am placing the connection string in each form but when it is need to change I have to change in every form. Now what I want to store all connection string in a vb class and call them in every form. So that if I need to change I can do in that class. I have stored my connection string in database so even I don't want to connect to database again and again. I have some idea in which maybe a public class is used and some how I will call it on other forms.
View 2 RepliesIn my earlier project I was able to change the connection string during the app settings loaded event and it was successfully. When I try to do the same for a code library project, I am not getting the system.configuration.connectionstringsettings to work. Could you please tell if there is a work around for this, or else it is always better to write the sql code instead of depending on the adapters etc.
Additional information: Clients App is WPF with Vb. Database is SQL Server 2008 Code Lib would only be on server, slq connectiona and data retrieving and saving actions are stored in classes in code lib only. Code Lib would be used with WCF, wcf is used to share the classes only and classes have the data. WCF is hosted as a windows service on server used by NET.TCP

Furthermore I know I could use the Windows script object, but this is a dependency Im trying to avoid if I can, hence writing my own Shortcut class.

You can change the connection string at run-time like this. You make the connection string setting available for writing as a separate property inside the MySettings class:
Partial Friend NotInheritable Class MySettings
Public WriteOnly Property RunTimeConnectionString()
Set(ByVal value)
[code]....
Then, in some place when the application is being initialized (before using any table adapters of typed datasets), write something like:
My.Settings.RunTimeConnectionString = My.Settings.ProductionConnectionString
Where ProductionConnectionString is a simple String setting. It is a User Scope setting so every user can change it (by assigning a value to it, similar to the code above) and save it by calling My.Settings.Save()This code works well for connection strings which were initially created in the main project and stored in it's settings (= app.config file).
The connection string in the app.config actually has a longer name: MyApp.MySettings.MyConnectionString.When you have a connection string stored in the app.config in a class library project, and reference that project in the main project, the app.config files will somehow be merged, so the class library has it's settings.The thing that don't know how to do, is change a setting from the class library at run-time. I could copy the connection string setting from the class library to the main project's app.config. I must keep the same name, which looks something like: MyClassLibrary.My.MySettings.MyConnectionString.Can the same principle I showed above be somehow applied to this second connection string?
I wrote a small application in witch I create a connection to a database. I'm new to this, so I followed the steps in MSDN help. I first created a link to the database with the "Datasource" of the Visual Studio environement. Then, in the code, I create instances of the dataset in the datasource and use a tableAdapter to register my changes in the database.
Now I want to allow the user of the application to specify the path of the DB file he wants to use. How can I do so? Do I still can use the datasource in the VS environment? I don't know where to start.
is there a way to create a program that has a SSH Connection to a VPS?
